When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be
improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless
transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater
than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes.
Short Preamble and Slot
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate
in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that
works best for your installation.
TX Burst
Allows the wireless Router to deliver better throughput in the same period and environment in order to
increase speed.
Pkt_Aggregate
Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple packets of application data into a single transmission
frame. In this way, 802.11n networks can send multiple data packets with the fixed overhead cost of
just a single frame.
SECURITY
Security Mode
Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless
network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users.
WEP
A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy
as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you
must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must
determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption
